ABSTRACT:
A 3 page research paper and analysis on music from the Rogers and Hammerstein musical, referring specifically to the film. In the 1940s, the musical team of Rogers and Hammerstein redefined the Broadway musical. In their hands, the songs in musical became more than simply excuses for production numbers or musical interludes, but rather were used to significantly comment on characterization and progress the plot. Two songs from the film adaptation of this Broadway musical (directed by Henry King and produced by Henry Ephron for Twentieth Century Fox, 1956) illustrate this point. The songs are the Carousel Waltz and If I Loved You. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
